Firelight (Amulet #7)
By Kazu Kibuishi
Title: Amulet Firelight Author: Kazu Kabuishi Genre: Sci fi I would give this a 3/5 rating because in my opinion how they switch from situation to situation can be annoying for me. Whoever some of the parts are good for example when Emily turns into a bird, that's cool! Secondly this book has some interesting parts like when the shadows control the fish and they pierce through the glass. I would recommend this book for 3rd+ because if a 2nd grader read this they might not understand it or think it's real.
The Last Hope (Warriors: Omen of the Stars No. 6)
By Erin Hunter
The last book of the final series of Warrior Cats. This book is full of adventures and danger, with sadness and despair. With all of the four clans uniting to battle with the dark forest, under Firestar's lead, the four clans unite as one and defeated the dark forest's evil cats. I really admire Firestar because usually a kitty pet is not respected and treated really mean, however Firestar was treated well and other cats respect him as a true clan born, and other cats would want to follow him even the other clan leaders. I really liked this series from the starting to the end, even though it wasn't considered a happy ending. Firestar's character shows the life of some people work hard to earn their spot in society and get respected, when they started with nothing., however if you are willing to try you may succeed.
All-Of-A-Kind Family Downtown
By Sydney Taylor
This book was awesome. It is a realistic fiction book by Sydney Taylor about a family at New York in 1912. The family has 5 girls, but later in the series another surprise makes an appearance. All of the girls are fun, and in the books, it goes on about the adventures, troubles, and resolutions they all have in their life. The family is also Jewish, so it talks, and kind of teaches about their traditions, which I find very cool. I HIGHLY recommend this book, and it is the perfect read for 7+, just when most kids can read chapter books comfortably.
Among the Impostors (Shadow Children Book 2)
By Margaret Peterson Haddix
Have you ever imagined being an illegal third child? In addition to being an illegal child you have to learn how to blend in with new surrounding. Well the book Among the Imposters by Margaret Peterson Haddix shows just that. “Among the Imposters” is the second book in a series called Shadow Children. Luke Garner or should I say Lee Grant, all of his life he’s been hiding avoiding the population police. Population police are officers who encourage the law of illegal third children to help population levels decrease. They also invade people’s homes searching for exneys (illegal third children), executing the third children when they figure that they are actually third children. Luke was sent to the school of Hendricks with a fake I.D playing the role of a boy named Lee Grant. Hendricks School of Boys is a windowless school with brutal students who disrespect Luke, and the teachers are absolutely oblivious. One day Luke discovers a door that leads outside. Will Luke discover what lies outside of the Hendricks school? Will his question unfold? You have to read Among the Imposters to find out. I recommend this book or series for people in 5-8 grade who enjoy exciting thrillers because I feel that this has a pretty deep content. I also feel they might not understand the meaning, and purpose of the book or series. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did.
Bad News (The Bad Books)
By Pseudonymous Bosch
I just finished a book called "Bad Luck" by Pseudonymous Bosch. The genre is fantasy because there are fantasy creatures in the book. I rated it " just right" on a scale of 1 to 5 of easy, going up to challenging. I think I would recommend this book for grades 4 to 6. I really liked this book, but it is the third in a series, so you should start with the first two which are really good too.
Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom: My Story of the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March
By Lynda Blackmon Lowery
I chose this book because it teaches others how it was when it was in the 1960. , u didn't know how it was back then. I would recommend this book for kids 3rd grade and higher due to the language they used to colored people and some chapters that are not good for kids 3rd grade and up.

Library of Souls: The Third Novel of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children
By Ransom Riggs
“And it occurred to me, standing there, just breathing with her, quiet settling around us, that those might be the three most beautiful words in the English language. We have time.” (Jacob) I recently picked up the first installment of this series, and found myself hooked almost instantly. The writing system, the plot, the characters, and the added pictures are all.. well, peculiar, to put it together with one word. The main plot of the series is driven by Jacob Portman: a young teenager from Florida who thinks he's about the most ordinary boy to grace the world with his presence. However, that way of thinking is completely changed after a series of events sends him spiraling down a path of danger, love, and betrayal, all compiled in one. Soon, the young Jacob finds himself to be one of the few things that can save his friends from an untimely end. Might I start by saying that the character development in this book is absolutely beautiful. It was a thrill to read and see his character grow in ways you would never expect. His character isn't the only one I enjoyed reading about; there were several others (such as Emma, Browyn, Olive, and Millard) that evolved in ways that brought smiles to my face. Now, interesting characters isn't all this series has. The plot is so intriguingly written, not a single detail was spared. Although the ending, in my opinion, was a bit tame to what it could've been, it still brought honest tears to my eyes and filled me with satisfaction. Another thing that stood out was the writing style, and how it so cleverly included pictures. There was something so peculiar but obsessive about it- Ransom Riggs, author of the book, has surely caught my eye, and I vividly await any other books he may release. All in all, this is a terrific book series. I strongly recommend it to anyone who's willing to deal with dark themes, however, this is surely not a series for young audiences.
Anne of Avonlea (Second Book in the Anne of Green Gables Series.)
By L M Montgomery
This book... This book is such a beloved classic for such good reason. It was so full of imagery and brilliant plot that I was sad to reach the end. One thing I will say though, is that Avonlea seems just a little too perfect. Aside from the one disaster and some minor scrapes, everything happens so that life flows idylly. Other than that, the book was written splendidly with lots of care. Even though this book is suitable for readers of all ages, there are many profound quotes and little gems that may not be picked up by a younger crowd. It just refreshes and makes me happy every time I read an "Anne of" book because they're so wholesome and gracefully written. The author, L.M. Montgomery is a literary genius. I can't wait to follow Anne along on her journey.
The Show Must Go On! (Three-Ring Rascals)
By Kate Klise, M. Sarah Klise
This book was very interesting. One note is that the book is obviously meant for younger kids, especially beginning readers. Half of the book is pictures, and much dialogue is conveyed through the pictures and speech bubbles. For the most part I could understand the plot line, but in some areas it was difficult. The story is about a famous circus. The owner needs a vacation, so he hires a man while he goes away for a week. Little does he know that the man is a fake, and his only goal is profit for himself. This is the story of the crazy week where the talking animals must face cruelty and a different life. i recommend this book to younger kids, and older kids might become bored.
